Sunset.

The Sandy Plains were coated a shade of amber red by the setting sun. The scene itself was beautiful.

Wang Jiangnan stood in this beautiful scenery, staring at Ye Ci as if she was an alien. He was known as a genius even when he was young. It was said that geniuses are lonely. Wang Jiangnan felt just that. He was always left out from his school days until work, so this was the first time someone talked to him like that.

It was a strange feeling.

He suddenly laughed along with Ye Ci, "Heh, wouldn't it be cheating for me to play the game? I know everything about the game.

Ye Ci rolled her eyes, "And what good can it do you? You think the players are playing with those privileged accounts of yours? Getting any items you want just by knowing where they would drop?" She felt as it there was a gap between them. She waved her hand impatiently, "Whatever, you don't have the time to play the game anyways, why bother asking so much? I'll kill this Sandstorm Scorpion, you guys record it, and we're done."

Wang Jiangnan was not angry. He grinned at Ye Ci, "You don't seem to like me."

"I hate game developers."

"Why?"

"There are two things you guys will do. One, Punish the players exploiting the bug and then fix the bug. And two, use the players to fix the bug. How do you expect me to feel good about you guys?" Ye Ci was a gaming veteran, how could she not understand how the game companies work? Players are like sheep, and the fur comes from the sheep.

Wang Jiangnan was stunned for a moment before letting out a hearty laugh. This was the first time he had heard a player's comments about game developers. It was very accurate. He laid on the sand, squinting at the red sky, not betraying a hint of his thoughts.

Ye Ci paid him no heed. A game developer was not somebody she could afford to offend, and she would not offend them even if she could afford to.

The final arrow hit its mark, and the Sandstorm Scorpion went limp. It turned into a huge amount of experience points and surged into Ye Ci's experience gauge. Her level instantly rose to level 16 with 20% experience. Although she was still two levels below the Let Go Of That Girl who was ranked first in the level rankings, it was good enough.

After throwing a few chunks of meat to Ol' Three that was acting cute, Ye Ci happily went to loot the carcass.

"Give me a chance, let me complete the Venomous Scorpion set in one go." Ye Ci made a cross gesture with her hand and prayed to God with all sincerity.

She then extended her 'black hand' [1] towards the Sandstorm Scorpion.

Apparently, God felt no obligation to fulfill Ye Ci's wishes and ignored her prayer. She was once again shrouded by her 'black hand aura'.

The Sandstorm Scorpion only yielded two equipment, two skill books, a bunch of potions and several hundred gold coins.

Venomous Scorpion Greaves x1

Venomous Scorpion Cape x1

Decoy x1

Resurrection x1

......

Although she could not complete the equipment set, the two equipment she received were not something that she already had. This at least made Ye Ci feel somewhat better. Especially with the +7 Speed of the Venomous Scorpion Greaves as well as the additional active skill called Dash.

Dash: Dashes 25m to the front, cool down: 1 minute.

It was a lifesaving skill, especially when it comes to PVP and kiting!
